Longhao Li, Siqi Wu, Chenyu Wang, report on behalf of the GRID Collaboration:

GRID-10B and GRID-11B reports the detection of the long-duration GRB 260511A, which was also detected by Fermi GBM (GCN Circular 44529), SVOM (GCN Circular 44532), NuSTAR(GCN Circular 44555), MASS-Cube(GCN Circular 44584), Konus-Wind (GCN Circular 44585), Glowbug(GCN Circular 44586).

The event was triggered with GRID on 2026-05-11 at 06:13:30 UTC. The measured burst duration (T90) in the 30-2000 keV range is approximately T90 = 26.0 +/- 1.3 seconds.
